Stephenson Pardon Attorney United States Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530 Re: Lester "Ben" Binion Dear Mr. Stephenson: By letter dated November 16, 1984, you acknowledged that Mr. Binion's Petition for Presidential Pardon had been received by your office. Most recently, by letter dated September 17, 1985, you acknowledged you had received all of the reports necessary for the consideration of Mr. Binion's Petition. It has been approximately 15 months since this application was filed and as you must be aware from prior correspondence from myself as well as Senators Laxalt, Hecht and Congressman Reid, Mr. Binion is in his 80's and in poor health. Would you please advise me when you might reasonably expect a decision to be made on this application. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. IRE JJB/js cc . Senator Laxalt Senator Hecht Congressman Reid
